Where has Alan been?

Well a big hello to the students and teachers at El Villar. I hope some of you still remember me, even though you have all grown up since I first came to the school in 2011?
Since Coral and I visited in November 2014 we have had a very busy time. In April 2015 we were lucky to visit the Eastern Mediterranean for a huge Australian remembrance day at Gallipoli, in Turkey, and then visit the fabulous Greek islands, some of Italy, and the small countries along the eastern Adriatic coast, such as Croatia. We also visited Venice, and travelled by train to Milan Paris and London. We had to go to London for our son's wedding, which was on the last day of our holiday.
One of the most interesting NEW things we saw during our travels (most things in Europe are very old, are they not?) is the only one in the world...the Sea Organ of Zadar (Croatia). It is like a super big mouth organ, which is played by movement of the sea.

More details can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_organ and at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSrgFDx7dpg
Until next time, study hard and be good for your teachers and parents,

Alan
